The above married Leonard S J Fuller b 21 May 1921 at Braintree, Essex, England Q3 1948, they had 2 children there but appear 29 Jul 1958 as travelling to Bermuda from Canada; the latter given as their residence. There is an obit at rootsweb obituary daily times index which says she passed away c2000 in Victoria, BC but that doesn't help with an exact date does it?
Can you find out any more about her passing and what happened to Leonard too please?

Did they have a son named Michael Charles, born July 4, 1949 in Brentwood, Essex? Obit for same indicates he died on January 28, 2014 in Oakville, Ontario. Predeceased by his parents, Len and Vera Fuller, late of Victoria, British Columbia; Freeport, Bahamas; Oakville and London. Michael is buried at St. Jude's Cemetery in Oakville. Names brothers (still living) N, D and sister, G. Children and grandchildren also named as is current wife.
Leonard and Vera certainly moved around.

Thank you eileen, the comment 'Names brothers (still living) N, D and sister, G. Children and grandchildren also named as is current wife.' I've the brother N born in Brentwood but presume the other brother D and sister G were born elsewhere on their travels?
Thank you too polarbear, I've e-mailed the cemetery as you suggested.

Departed from Southampton 20 March 1954....
Leonard, Vera, N, and Michael
Last address was 66A Church Rd. Up., Richmond, Surrey
Travelling to the port of New York
Intended country of residence is Canada
They would most likely have travelled inland from New York by train.
So it looks like D and G may have been born in Canada.

Had e-mail from cemetery which says: Leonard is resting in the Garden – Section H -Grave 101 he died March 17, 2001 Victoria BC . Vera is resting in the Garden -Section H-Grave 102, she died December 18, 2000 Victoria BC. As we are not the funeral home that assisted the family we would have no records of an obituary.

Hi,
This is David Fuller. My Mum was Vera Rose Pucknell born Aug 3, 1917 in Witham, Essex, England. My Dad was Leonard Stanley James Fuller born May 21, 1921 in Gravesend, Kent, England. They were married July 8, 1942 in Witham. My Mum passed on Dec 18, 2000 in Victoria, BC, Canada and my Dad three months later on March 17, 2001.
Looking for family connections.
Cheers,
David
